Tube Technology Unisis or Puresound A30?

[MallyMad]

Decided against the S6. I still REALLY fancy the Puresound A30 but now someone has pointed out the Tube Technology Unisis to me. It looks lovely and seems very well thought of. Same price and for use with AN Ks.Opinions please.

Tube Technology Unisis.

 

[simon g]

Unisis, without a doubt.

 

[unclepuncle]

Just on looks it would have to be the Unisis.

 

[bmtell]

Audionote Otto SE would be a good choice.

Agreed but it's twice the price.

Never heard the P30, but I have had the Unisis. Absolutely brilliant little amp.

Ive not heard the Unisis but I heard an A30 in power amp mode running the Tune Aminas earlier this week and it sounded great. It's a lovely amp for the money.

Agreed but it's twice the price.QUOTE]And your point is?

[h=2]Tube Technology Unisis, terrific amp, but I don't think I've knowingly heard the Puresound for comparison...[/h]

 

[belloire]

never heard them on the same speakers, but both are great amps, i'm sure they'll work well with your speakers. perhaps you need a bake off ....

maybe you should add the Audio Innovations S500 to the list too

Ive not heard the Puresound, but I have heard good things about it.

I have heard the Unisis and really liked it.

But I agree with Darren too. The Audio Innovations 500 is very good. It was my first valve amp and I really liked it. For about £500, it will be hard to beat for the money. It worked great with my Snell K's. Not a million miles from you AN K's

Due to bakeoffs I've heard all three and any would be a fine choice

 

[MallyMad]

Thanks fellas. Did try and organise a bake off but it's like herding cats. Very tricky choice.

 

[Bourney]

I've had all three at the same time.

 

[ThELiZ]

I've not had any other valve amp's to compare against, but I am really loving the Unison S6. How come you ruled it out?

The Unisis running some decent tubes is a bit special, but I haven't heard any bad sounding Puresound kit either. All the amps mentioned above are good.

I think at this point you're supposed to offer an opinion of each Steve

That would certainly be of interest to me. And I suspect many others.
